If you don't vote you can't bitch about my choices!

Kitani's pre-Jonnin arrival nap was interrupted by Sasuke's arriva, whom Kitani knew would arrive after him. ''Someone broke into the district last night.'' Kitani says after checking for eavesdropping Shinobi.

''Was it Him?'' Sasuke asks tensely.

''No, whoever it was was far more interested in toying or playing with me than finishing the job, and besides, voices didn't match.'' Says Kitani, rubbing his neck absentmindedly. Something had cared for him, or someone. What little he recalled was a splitting headache, and someone easing his pain.

''Keep me informed.'' Says the young Uchiha in his monotone.

''Yeah... Hey Sasuke, you ever wonder why he did it? Yeah he gave us a reason, but I don't know, something about the whole thing doesn't seem to fit right." Kitani says, as he grows thoughtful.

''Now that you mention it, Father did seem reluctant in the week leading up to it, and Itachi was the same.'' Says Sasuke, after thinking for a minute.

''Promise me one thing...when we get to him, you'll find out why?'' Kitani asks.

''Hn.'' He replies, and taking that as a noncommittal agreement, puts his head face down on the desk.

Kitani wasn't sure what happened last night, he was clearly attacked, but aside from the neck pain, he didn't really have anything else to prove beyond broken furniture and a cracked wall. For someone to attack him, they'd have to bypass the Hidden Leaf Village's Yamanaka lead Sensor Corp, and risk interrogation by Ibiki Morino if caught. Kitani knew something was up, but without at least circumstantial evidence, he couldn't bring it up to Lord Inoichi. Granted it was enough to bring up, but without more information he wasn't sure what good it would do.

Kitani didn't want to waste energy or his brain's processing power on something that could be a figment of his imagination, but he couldn't shake the profound sense of dread he felt whenever he recalled that voice. It wasn't Killing Intent he felt, rather intent to harm, to torture, that's part of what terrified him, but what really did it for him was how casual it felt. Not many people would be so casual about such a thing, which narrowed the list considerably.

Kitani looked up, and found Naruto pacing around, and only now heard Sakura tell him not to do...whatever he was doing with the duster. A hand was seen in the doorway, and as soon as it opened, the duster fell on uncle Kakashi's head. "Haha! I got him, I got him!" Says Naruto, laughing his a** off. "I'm sorry Sensei." Says Sakura apologetically, but Kitani can tell it's only half-true.

"Great, captain tardiness is our Sensei." Kitani mutters, seriously having wished for someone who could tell the time.

Kakashi picks up the duster, and then holds his chin thoughtfully. "How can I put this? Well, my first impression is...your all a bunch of idiots!" Says Kakashi, causing the trio's faces to fall, but Kitani to smirk, but quickly drops it. ''Yes, you as well Kitani.''

After a classic Kakashi entrance, which is to say he is late, the four-man squad found themselves at the roof, with Sasuke in the middle, Kitani beside Sakura on the right and Naruto next to Sasuke on the left. Kakashi sat against the railing in front of them arms folded against his chest. "Let's see, first off let me have you guys introduce yourselves." Says Kakashi.

"Introduce ourselves? What should we say?" Asks Sakura, causing Kakashi to nonchalantly hold his arms in a carefree open shrug.

"Your likes, dislikes, your future dream, hobbies, things like that!" Says Kakashi, as he resumes folding his arms across his chest, still not apparently awake.

"Hey! Before that, please tell us about yourself. So we know what to do." Says Naruto.

"Me? My name's Kakashi Hatake... I don't feel like telling you guys anything beyond that I have lots of hobbies and i have likes and dislikes you don't need to know. I should know. As for my dream, I never really thought about it.'' Says Kakashi.

''Well that was useless, all he really told us was his name.'' Says Sakura.

"Next is you guys. Let's start with you on the right blondie." Says Kakashi, talking about Naruto.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like instant ramen, but what I like even more is the ramen from Ichiraku that Iruka Sensei treats me to. What I dislike is the three minutes after pouring hot water in the instant ramen. My hobby is eating and comparing ramen! And my future dream...is to surpass the Hokage! And so I'm going to get the entire village to acknowledge my existence." Says Naruto, causing Kitani's opinion on him to lower, but at the same time his respect rises.

'Well ramen aside, I can respect his goal at least.' Kitani thinks, never particularly liking ramen, only ever going to Ichiraku cause of his childhood crush on Ayame.

"Okay Next!" Says Kakashi turning to Sakura.

"I'm Sakura Haruno..." But she is unable to form anything coherent beyond disliking Naruto. 'Stupid Fangirls.' Sasuke and Kitani mentally think at the same time.

"Now, Kitani, it's a formality, but please do what I asked." Says Kakashi, his interest effectively non existent at this point.

"I am Kitani Uchiha, My likes is training to avenge the injustice wrought onto my Clan, Finding a worthy rival, and helping those whose spirit is a match to mine. My dislike is general idiocy that is over the top, as you can relate Sensei, anybody who thinks being a Leaf Shinobi is a game or something to get a significant other, and anybody who acts like fangirl and refuses to adapt if it compromises the mission. My hobbies include laying flowers at the graves of my loved ones, discovering new Jutsu, collecting rare or exotic weapons, and solving puzzles. My goals are to become a Hokage who will realise the Dream of the Uchiha Clan that was denied us by The Second Hokage despite Lord First's wishes, bring Justice to the fallen members, and honoring my Father's sacrifice by becoming the Hokage to ensure no one else needs die as he did.'' Says Kitani as he remembers the collection his family has.

''And lastly...'' Says Kakashi, looking at Sasuke

''My name...is Sasuke Uchiha, I have lots of dislikes, but no likes in particular.'' Says Sasuke glancing at Sakura as he says 'no likes'.

''Oh.'' Says a sad Sakura.

'Here it comes...' Kitani thinks.

''And...I don't feel like summing up my ambition as a dream, because I WILL make it a reality! I'm going to restore my Clan and without fail...to kill a certain someone.'' Says Sasuke darkly, causing Kitani's face to become wracked with grief and anguish.

Naruto is easily fearful the dead man walking is him, while Sakura is naturally still a fangirl. Kakashi doesn't look surprised nor concerned in the slightest, and Kitani? Well Kitani looks on devoid of any outwardly expressed emotions beyond emptiness.

''Good, now the four of you are very distinctive and Interesting! We'll have a mission tomorrow!'' Says Kakashi, causing Naruto's mood to instant brighten.

''Yes Sensei! What kind of mission?!'' Naruto asks excitedly.

''First, we'll do what we can do with just five people.'' Says Kakashi, without much context or details.

''What? What? What?!'' Asks Naruto.

Kakashi gives a tired eye smile at his energy

''A survival exercise!'' Says Kakashi.

''Survival exercise?'' Asks Naruto.

''Why are we doing an exercise, even though this is supposed to be a mission? We've had more than our share of exercises in the Academy!'' Demands Sakura, causing Kitani to question whether her test scores were as high as claimed.

''This is no simple exercise.'' Says Kakashi.

''Then...then what kind of exercise is it?'' Asks Naruto, and Kakashi begins to laugh his ass off in chuckling fashion.

''Hey! What's so funny, Sensei?'' Asks Sakura suspicions raised.

After more chuckles, Kakashi's laughing dies completely. ''Uh, well, if I tell you, I know you'll grow disenchanted. Of twenty eight graduates, only ten will be recognised as junior Ninja's. The remaining nineteen will be sent back to the academy. In other words, this exercise is an extremely difficult test, with a failure rate of 66% or higher! See, see? You got disenchanted!'' Says Kakashi completely serious until his last five words.

''That's crazy! To have suffered that much! T-then, what was the graduation test for?'' Asks Naruto, completely shocked.

''Oh that. It was just to select those who have the potential of becoming Genin.'' Says Kakashi dismissively.

''Whaaaat?!' Demands an irate Naruto

''Well, that's the way it is. I'll be determining whether you pass or fail. Bring you complete set of Ninja Tools! We meet at five in the morning!'' Says Kakashi as he lets the three stooges stew over it, but Kitani knows half of what his godfather said was bullshit, he's just trying to determine which part. ''Okay, your dismissed. Oh... And you'd best skip breakfast. You'll just end up throwing it up.'' Says Kakashi, and Kitani is now not so sure if half of Kakashi's words were bullshit.

(Training Field Seven)

Given he had a Survival test tomorrow, Kitani decided that it was in his and his team's best interest for someone to Memorise the area and lay traps. To this end, he makes the hand sign for the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, summoning two dozen Clones for mapping, a dozen for trapping, and dozen for training in the meantime. Once the clones depart, leaving a good thirteen Kitani's, he looks to his clones and nods. Ever since Kakashi had demonstrated the Chidori, Kitani wanted something similar. He could use Lightning-Style, and knew the basics of Lightning-Style's general rule of Chakra Flow.

So Kitani gathers Lightning into his open and flat palm, Kitani let's it charge for half a minute, before he charges a nearby tree. In a motion he thrusts his palm in a vertical chop position, the thrust cracks the tree, but does not shatter. "Huh." Says Kitani, as he gets an idea. Rather than channel his Chakra into his palm, Kitani channels it throughout his body, lightning cracks across his body, small discharges here and there. It burns a bit, so Kitani tones it down a fraction, the pain is almost non-existent, but his nervous system is stimulated. Kitani channels his Lightning in his palm into a spear form, which he then thrusts at a second tree. The effect is noticeably more existent. "Start training boys!" Kitani tells his clones, who nod and depart.

(Three Hours Later)

After three hours, Kitani is panting, from exhaustion, he dispelled his clones one at a time, careful not to repeat the rookie mistake of dispelling them all at once and being knocked out by your own clones. Kitani would need to work on his Jutsu again, but his Lightning-Style technique was interesting to say the least. He required his Sharingan when he didn't want the Lightning-Style Aura, but he was curious more than anything else what would happen if he were to combine the two parts. Chidori, Thrust of Hell, Gentle Fist, these were Jutsu or styles which could cause catastrophic damage used properly or not The first two were similar to what Kitani was trying, but not by much.

"Wonder if Kakashi would teach me Chidori? That may help me with that?" Kitani mutters to himself, thinking on the hand posture he knew of with Chidori, Thrust of Hell and what he'd done. When He'd channeled Lightning-Style Chakra into his palm, he'd only cracked a tree, yet when He'd utilised a Chakra Aura, it had ruptured the tree? The Chidori's one flaw was it was useless without the Sharingan, because it could only go in direction. The Hyuga Clan had a Rotation Jutsu, so could Kitani do something the same with his own technique? Perhaps he'd need to call on Lord Hyuga, no, Hinata would be his best bet for now.

As if on que, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai were walking towards him. "Hey guys." Kitani says, in friendly greeting.

"Hey Kit." Says Kiba, using his nickname.

"Hello." Was Shino's only word.

"K-kitani, hello." Says Hinata timidly.

"I'm glad I ran into, cause I have a favor to ask Hinata." Kitani tells.

"What sort of favor?" She asks nervously.

"I know the Hyuga Clan has a Jutsu which focuses on Rotation, I'm trying to create something similar, and was hoping I might ask your father's permission to observe the movements." Kitani tells her, Hinata grows serious, something uncharacteristic for her, and scary in it's own way.

"As long as you don't wish to perform our Jutsu, he should have no problem with it." Says Hinata.

"Thanks, I don't need the whole Jutsu, because that would...well it would be like you coming to me for the Uchiha Clan's Most secret Ninjutsu. I'm working on something more efficient than the Chidori, but one that doesn't need the Sharingan, tell your father I can't do anything tomorrow, since I've a mission to do." Says Kitani, before turning his attention to Kurenai-Sensei.

"Aunty Nai." Says Kitani, as he hugs Kurenai.

"Hello Kitani, still playing jokes on your aunt Anko?" Says Kurenai, as Kitani grins mischievously.

"Yep! Speaking of which, Kiba, you got the package?" Asks Kitani.

"Yeah, not yet, it's still being shipped." Says Kiba, causing Kitani to frown thoughtfully.

"Guess, plan b it is." Says Kitani, as he waves and leaves.

After getting a good sleep, he awoke at four showered, shit, and ate a small breakfast before he left to go to Training field Number Seven. He sat down against a tree and continued to eat, his diet was consistent but varied. He was a man he enjoyed meats and various other Delicious stuff. His typical meats included steak or pork, which were typically served with spices and flavours not common to the Land of Fire. He often enjoyed it with oysters and various vegetables, but when in a pinch he'd settle for something that gave him high protein and calories to get him to the end of the line when needed. Hiruzen was also a fan of Dango, something shared by his Aunty Anko, but he preferred it with a slight bitterness as opposed to Anko's sweet tooth diet.

Since Kitani was sit against a tree an the three crossroads showcased who was coming in any direction, he noticed Naruto, Sasuke, and the princess of pink long before they did. When Sakura saw his meals empty carriers, she was mortified when he pointed out their was no rule against it, just a suggestion.

After at least a good few hours, Kakashi showed up at long last...after at least five hours. "You know, you've been late before, but never this late!" Says Kitani in exasperation. As soon as Kakashi starts explaining, he creates a Clone and has him listen to Kakashi while he begins to wake up properly. Kitani picks up pieces himself here and there, but when he heard the jingling of the bells, he snapped himself awake. "Oh crap, not this." Says Kitani, as he remembers his mother and father's stories, and immediately hurls a Shuriken at Kakashi.

"I didn't say start yet, Kitani." Says Kakashi, calmly holding the Shuriken.

"A real Shinobi doesn't wait for permission to attack, he either takes the initiative he gets a Kunai to the throat for waiting too long." Says Kitani as he continues to hurl Kunai and Shuriken at Kakashi, making him back up, right into one of his traps. Kakashi is immediately forced upside down.

"What? This is not one of my traps." Says Kakashi, causing Kitani to Smirk. "Oh, I see, it's one of yours." Says Kakashi, causing Kitani's Smirk to grow until it's a disturbingly wide shit eating grin. "Oh very well, begin." Says Kakashi, causing him to disappear in a puff of smoke. What he does not know is that when the trap was set off by Kakashi, it branded him with a mark of location seal.

"Alright, here's how it's going to..oh why do I even bother." Says Kitani see's Naruto charge a Kakashi who is a clear clone.

"He's such an idiot." Says Sakura in a deadpan.

"Agreed." Says Sasuke in an equal deadpan.

"Well, at least he's a good distraction. Sakura, you will be our support, Sasuke, remember, he's a Jonnin on par with a Hokage in danger level, we'll have to use our eyes." Says Kitani, activating his Sharingan at a full Tomoe at once. Unlike most Sharingan users, he was able to determine how many Tomoe he used, his eyes were also capable of detecting changes at the Cellular level, and also capable of determining whether a person was a Clone or not based on the Chakra being emitted. Unfortunately he could only do so once if he wanted to have enough Chakra to fight back, he might have Senju Blood, but that didn't make it any less of a taxation for him.

Sasuke eyes him curiously. "Why is your eyes only at two Tomoe?" Says Sasuke, who himself had only a single Tomoe in one eye, while his other eye had a two Tomoe pattern in it.

"I can switch things up, even detect changes in Chakra to the Cellular degree, but it's huge ass Chakra drain. Now, then, shall I open it up, or will you?" Asks Kitani, as Sasuke smirks, but it quickly vanishes, as he considers.

'Much as I hate to admit it, it's probably better that he opens up, yet, I need to prove I'm stronger.' Sasuke mentally considers. "I'll do it." Says Sasuke, as Kitani nods, but summons a Shadow Clone Pair anyway. Kitani nods to his clones, he begin to unlock some of his Seals, that mom placed on him.

"Are those...Sealing Formula?" Asks Sakura, having studied it in the academy.

"One of mom's only gifts, Pressure, Gravity, Spirit, Nature, and Explosion. I also use Perception and Reality Seals, I've Naruto to thank in part for that." Says Kitani, having read Clan History enough to know the Uzumaki Clan.

"Why?" Asks Sasuke.

"Because, Uzumaki are besides myself, the Last descendants of the Senju Clan, theirs was a Clan of Sealing Jutsu experts, in fact, the Invented Tailed-Beast Seals, and are among the few, allegedly able to survive the extraction of a Tailed-Beast." Says Kitani, as he remembers grandfather's lessons and stories. "Now then, I'm going to wait for Sasuke to volley, after that, I will launch a Senbon Barrage, Sakura, I want you to use Genjutsu immediately before Sasuke's attack, with any luck, it will cause Kakashi's guard to lighten and he won't be as prepared." Says Kitani, as Sasuke nods at the soundness of the plan.

"What of Naruto?" Asks Sakura, causing Kitani to frown.

"Much as I hate to say so, his usefulness begins and end at being a distraction." Says Kitani, as he has a sad look in his eyes at having to talk about his teammate as such, whatever they'd had planned was suddenly put on hold as a Kunai barrage is sent Towards Kitani, he is too distracted by the conversation and his tone to responde in time. Before the Kunai hit him they're suddenly warped away. His Eye hurts and becomes irritated as it bleeds. "Ugh, what the hell?!" Says Kitani as he coughs violently. Spitting Blood in the process.

(Kakashi's POV)

Kakashi saw how Kitani had dealt with the Kunai he'd sent towards him. 'Seems he's got it after all, not good, best let the Hokage know when I report in. To think he has the Mangekyo so soon, if trained improperly, it could hold Dire consequences.' Kakashi considers mentally, and watches as his godson has his eye bleeding and coughs up a bit of blood as well. "Interesting." Says Kakashi as he considers bringing out his own Sharingan, but when he see's Kitani drop to his knees and his Sharingan return to normal, he decides to hold off for now.

(Kitani's POV)

Kitani's knee's buckled, but he quickly stood, albeit unsteadily. "What the hell? Why do I feel so weak?" Says Kitani, as he can barely stand up at all.

"Kitani, just sit down, your too weak right now." Says Sakura, worriedly, while thinking Ino will kill her if he died because of his own stubbornness.

"Relax Sakura, This is hardly the only thing in my tank. Boys, loosen the Valves a bit, I need to replenish my Physical and Mental energy." Kitani tells Sakura, before turning to his Clones who nod and soak their fingers in Chakra before they hit the Five Points Seal Keys on his upper left chest and the back of his neck. The result is instantaneous. It unleashes a small shockwave of Chakra, as it opens the Chakra floodgates that had been building up, at least by a fraction anyway. The Strain will end up fucking him over later, but Kitani is willing to deal with it if it means he passes the accursed test.

"Kitani? What is this power?" Asks Sasuke, clearly not expecting such a power surge from his more advanced distant cousin. Kitani glances at him with one Sharingan, before smiling a half-smile and turning his attentions to the trapped Naruto and Kakashi lecturing him in obviousness and something being too easy.

"Sakura, do me a favour? Don't tell Ino about this? She'll kill me if she learns." Says Kitani, remembering the last time Ino found out about his Seals being released and the state it left him in. It would just let her become the seductive nurse she was last time, but with far less modesty in costume this time, something he didn't wish to be put through again if he could help it. Sakura nods, clearly enraptured by his surge of power, in Sasuke's eyes, he see's determination, and a desire to match up, instead of the usual need to surpass. "Sasuke, I'll let you get your own later, for now, you and me need to make a Tag-Team which puts the Raikage and his Brother's to shame." Says Kitani, as he snuffs his Chakra cloak before letting a thin Chakra Aura envelope him.

"Yeah, Fireball?" Says Sasuke in suggestion.

"No, can't risk earning a penalty for firing at Kakashi while Naruto's still in the way. I don't know about you, but perhaps we ought to instead use our Lightning-Style to take him out from Kakashi's nose." Says Kitani, causing Sasuke to nod thoughtfully, before grunting as he attempts to mimic Kitani's aura, but fries himself. "Easy, you want a thin layer of Chakra, think of it as a thin blanket, enough to keep you alive but not enough to make you comfortable. Try it, and you'll have your reactions doubled, tripled if you use Sharingan, but I don't advise it until your body is adjusted." Says Kitani as he uses the Mystical Palm Jutsu on Sasuke's primary Chakra Nerve Gate, letting him un-fry himself. "Alright, I'll get the idiot out, you have the Fire Ball charged and ready, the second you see the rope snap, do it!" Says Kitani as he uses his enhanced speed to leapfrog from tree to tree, planting Seals there before he quickly snaps the rope and drags Naruto out and into the river. Sasuke is quick on the draw.

"Fire-Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Says Sasuke as he launches a massive Fireball at Kakashi, which Kitani follows up with a Senbon Barrage. As the smoke clears, they find a porcupined Kakashi who quickly pops into a log and smoke, and Kitani barely draws his Tanto in time to block Kakashi's Kunai.

"You've gotten better." Says Kakashi in amusement. "But I got a lot better." He says popping in a puff of smoke before sending a Fireball at him.

"Earth-Style: Mud Wall!" Says Kitani, using his main defensive technique to shield himself. "Fire-Style: Multi-Fireball Jutsu!" Says Kitani as he batters Kakashi with Multi Fireballs at once, after leaping atop the mud wall, as soon as the wall doesn't buckle under Kakashi's Jutsu's intensity. Kitani decides to Body flicker over to Kakashi and snatch a bell from him.

"What the?!" Shouts Kakashi, as Kitani kicks him in his family jewels and takes one Bell for himself. "Was it absolutely necessary to kick me there?" He asks crumpling on the ground.

"Nah, felt good though." Says Kitani as he coughs up more blood. "Damn, I need to sit down." Says Kitani as he leans against the tree, as his nose begins to bleed slightly as well.

"Well, you got a Bell, so you pass, so go and get checked out by a Medical-Nin." Says Kakashi. "Yeah, got it." Says Kitani as he does just that, and hopes it's nothing too serious.
